2 SHEETS-SHEET 2.

what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In combination with a driving shaft and a rotatable and vertically movable member having a ratchet-thereon. a pawl carrying-arm on the shaft. having the pawl thereof engaged with the ratchet to operate the latter. ayolte swiveled on said member. a wheel. a flexible connection between the yoke and wheel for winding upon the latter. a driving connection between the shaft and wheel. and means to oscillate the driving shaft.

2. lncombination with a vertically slidable spring pressed shaft. a ratchet splined thereon. means to hold the ratchet against vertical movement. the shaft extending beyond said means. winding means connected to the shaft extension to move same downwardly against the tension of the sprin and combined means to wind said means and to engage the ratchet and effect step by step rotation thereof.

3. In combination with a vertically slidable spring pressed shaft, a ratchet splined thereon. means to hold the ratchet against vertical movement. the shaft extending be.- yond said means. winding means connected to the shaft extension to move same downwardly against the tension of the spring, a. driving shaft. a connection between the driving shaft and the winding means to operate the latter. an arm on the driving shaft having a pawl engaging the ratchet and means to oscillate the driving shaft.

4. In combination ith a vertically movable spring pressed shaft. means to rotate the shaft. means to hold the rotatable means against vertical movement, rotatable means to move the shaft downwardly against the tension of the spring, driving means and combined means to actuate said third means and to engage the first means to effect stepby-step rotation of the spring pressed shaft.

5. In combination with a shaft. a ratchet splined on the shaft and beyond which the shaft extends. a yoke swiveled on the shaft extension. a second shaft. a wheel mounted on the second shaft. a flexible connection between the wheel and yoke for winding upon the former when the shaft is rotated to impart a reciprocatory movement to the first shaft, a drive shaft geared to the second shaft. an arm fixed on thedrive Shaft, pawl pivoted on the outer end of the arm for engaging the ratchet to partially rotate the same. and a hand lever fixed on the driveshaft.

(5. In combination with a shaft, spring means for holding the shaft elevated. a rotatable shaft. a wheel fixed thereon, and a flexible member windable about the wheel and swivelly connected to the shaft.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
